[1] Elizabeth Seal made her professional debut, as a dancer, at the age of 17 in Ivor Novello's musical Gay's the Word (1951) at the Saville Theatre.
Seal then shot to fame as 'Gladys' in the West End transfer of The Pajama Game by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross at the London Coliseum in 1955.
Whilst appearing in the show she made her film debut opposite John Mills, Alec McCowen and Charles Coburn in Town on Trial (1957), playing the role of 'Fiona'.
[7] After some further American shows including A Shot In The Dark, Exiles by James Joyce, and several cabaret appearances, Seal left the stage for a number of years to raise a family.
A revival of Julian Slade and Dorothy Reynolds' musical Salad Days at the Duke of York's Theatre followed, and Seal later took over the role of 'Roxie Hart' in Chicago in the original London production, alongside Jenny Logan (who played Velma Kelly) in 1979.
